Voodoo2 Cards Are Dying! Do This Before It's Too Late!

Video Description

This video is brought to you by PCBWay #sponsored Faulty capacitors that cannot be detected using a thermal camera are one of my most disliked debugging tasks. In this video, we are exploring the Pyroelectric effect which could help us identifying broken SMD capacitors. We have the perfect candidate: A 3Dfx Voodoo2 from Diamond Multimedia! Preventive maintenance for your retro treasures! Fix the freezing issue video (Part 1): https://youtu.be/MPEXSbaCFpM The card I work on in this video had exactly the same issue as shown in this video.
